Hmm...  Not based on my research.  The most common attack capabilities in
the bots are ICMP and UDP flooders.  After that, IGMP.  Last, TCP.  Most
of the DoS tools contain the same attack types as the bots.
On the receiving end, upwards of 80% of all the woe I track is not TCP.

You miss the point of this:

We are not landmining for DOSing.

We are landmining to make it very dangerous for attackers to scan networks 
and probe hosts.
